America has lost another one of its truly great heroes with the death of John Glenn. John Glenn was the first American astronaut to orbit the earth in February 1962 in the Friendship 7 capsule. He came from a modest background and lived an extraordinary life as a Marine, Astronaut, and Senator. He most certainly did not lead a boring life as he fulfilled a lifelong passion of serving his country. Godspeed John Glenn, may you Rest In Peace.
